In 2021, the Prime Minister wrote an essay in which he said,
“Where the current Tory government has muddied the waters of transparency…I want to make it easier to hold government to account.”
He said that a Labour Government must
“play its role in restoring honesty, decency and transparency in public life”—
and yet here we are. Does the Minister agree that after all the redacting of messages, it is not only the Labour party that is being damaged, but democracy itself?
